No-Frill Thrills: The Rise of Minimalist Sex Apps..... by Kevin Roose

In January of last year, Roman
Sidorenko and Alexander Kukhtenko had an idea to break their sexual dry
spells the way they solved many of their other problems: with an app.
"We wanted an easy way to find sex, basically," says Sidorenko. But the two friends (who describe themselves as "pomosexuals") were too impatient to use the available dating apps on the market, all of which required them to spend hours flirting with potential flings via chat or text message before getting a date and, possibly, sealing the deal. They knew there were horny people around them looking for sex — and nothing more — but had no way of figuring out where, and who, they were.
"We thought it would be cool to use an approach like Uber," Sidorenko says. "Where you basically create the request, and you get a car pretty soon. We thought it would be cool to have something like that to find a sex buddy."
